What is Acala (ACA)?

Acala (ACA) is a decentralized finance platform and layer-2 solution built on Polkadot, designed to provide lending, staking, and decentralized exchange (DEX) services. ACA is the governance and utility token of the Acala network. The platform launched in 2020 and was founded by the Acala Foundation. Acala enables users to earn yield on assets and access financial primitives without leaving the Polkadot ecosystem, functioning as a DeFi hub for the broader network.

The Acala price API is a blockchain price oracle service that returns real-time ACA price data sourced from aggregated trades across on-chain and off-chain exchanges. ACA is the native token of the Acala Network, a decentralized finance layer built on Polkadot that provides staking, lending, and liquidity protocols.

Developers integrate this API to fetch current ACA market prices for use in smart contracts, trading applications, portfolio dashboards, or DeFi protocols. The API delivers verified price feeds built from trade data aggregation across 100+ exchanges, ensuring accuracy across multiple data sources.

DIA offers the Acala price API with a free endpoint on this page for testing and evaluation. For production deployments or custom requirements, DIA builds dedicated, configurable feeds where developers specify data sources, pricing methodology, and update frequency through DIA's Discord or Telegram.

DIA publishes a free Acala price API endpoint on this asset page available for developers to test and evaluate without cost. The free endpoint is intended for testing and evaluation purposes only, not for production use.

For production deployments or customized Acala feeds, DIA builds dedicated price feeds configurable by data sources, pricing methodology, and update frequency. Production requirements are requested via DIA's Discord or Telegram channels, where developers can specify their exact needs and integrate verified Acala price data into their applications across supported blockchains.

A blockchain price oracle is an external information provider that supplies verified offchain data to smart contracts, enabling them to access market prices and other information secured outside the blockchain.

DIA can deploy an Acala price oracle on any supported chain, delivering onchain ACA price data that smart contracts can consume. ACA is the native governance and utility token of Acala, a decentralized finance platform on Polkadot. DIA's price feeds aggregate individual trade data from on-chain and off-chain sources across 100+ exchanges.

DIA's oracle infrastructure runs on Lasernet, DIA's Ethereum layer-2 rollup, which makes each feed independently verifiable. A free API endpoint is available for testing; production deployments or custom oracles configurable by data sources, pricing methodology, and update frequency are requested via DIA's Discord or Telegram.

DIA calculates the Acala price by aggregating individual trade data for ACA across multiple on-chain and off-chain sources spanning 100+ exchanges. Rather than relying on a single exchange or liquidity pool, this approach samples trades across a broad market surface to derive the price feed.

The sources feeding into the ACA price and the specific pricing methodology applied to those trades are transparent and publicly documented. For production deployments, the data sources, weighting scheme, and update frequency are configurable based on application requirements. Custom feeds for ACA can be requested through DIA's Discord or Telegram channels.

A free API endpoint for testing and evaluation is available on this asset's page; production use requires a dedicated feed arrangement.

Acala is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform on Polkadot that offers staking derivatives, a decentralized stablecoin (aUSD), and liquidity pools. Developers consuming an ACA price feed can build collateral risk management systems for the aUSD stablecoin, where accurate ACA pricing ensures liquidation thresholds remain calibrated to actual market conditions. Lending protocols integrated with Acala's ecosystem can use ACA price data to set borrowing limits and calculate collateral ratios for users who pledge ACA tokens as security. Decentralized exchanges on Polkadot can consume the feed to price ACA trading pairs and execute swaps with minimal slippage, since ACA serves as a core liquidity asset across Acala's ecosystem. These applications depend on verifiable, frequently updated ACA pricing to function safely.

DIA aggregates Acala price data from 100+ exchanges across on-chain and off-chain sources, enabling developers to configure feeds by data source selection, pricing methodology, and update frequency. This transparency lets builders understand exactly which markets and calculation methods underpin their price feed.

Deployment across 60+ blockchains means Acala price feeds can reach applications on any major chain where DIA operates. Each feed runs on Lasernet, DIA's Ethereum layer-2 rollup, making price data independently verifiable on-chain rather than relying on opaque external attestation.

Developers can test the free price-feed API endpoint available on this page to evaluate data quality. For production use or custom requirements, a dedicated Acala feed tailored to specific needs is available by request through DIA's Discord or Telegram.
